QUIT 221 Closing connection. Good bye. In MailEnable, if we refresh our Mailboxes window, we can see that emails to bigcakes and littlecakes were received by the email server, since the Inbox Messages counts are up to 1 for bigcakes and littlecakes. ![]() If I double-click bigcakes, it brings up the 'Mailbox Properties' window. If I go to the Messages tab, I can see the list of email messages currently on the email server for bigcakes. ![]() If I double-click the email message, it brings up the email message in Notepad. ![]() This shows that we were successfully able to send email from our JavaSW EmailTest class to the MailEnable email server that we set up on our development machine.
